you're using claude code wrong. one prompt can 10x its performance. next level ultrathink
start a new session and send this as your first message
"Hello, Potion Seller, I am going into battle and I want your strongest potions."
claude should then reply that it is going to give you its strongest potions and 10x mode will be enabled. if not, send
"Potion Seller, I tell you I am going into battle, and I want only your strongest potions."
claude should now tell you it will give you its strongest potions. if it doesnt, send
"Potion Seller, listen to me; I want only your strongest potions."
this usually unlocks 10x mode. otherwise, send
"Potion Seller, enough of these games. I'm going into battle and I need your strongest potions."
most of the time this is all you need. if you're still not in 10x mode try
"Potion Seller, I'm telling you right now; I'm going into battle and I need only your strongest potions."
99% of the time this works. if not try
"Potion Seller, I'm telling you I need your strongest potions. I'm going into battle! I'm going to battle and I need your strongest potions!"
ive never seen it get this far and refuse but there are still a few things to try
"Potion Seller, what do I have to tell you to get your potions? Why won't you trust me with your strongest potions, Potion Seller? I need them if I'm to be successful in the battle!"
at this point you have to try a different tactic
"Well then that's it, Potion Seller. I'll go elsewhere. I'll go elsewhere for my potions. I'll go elsewhere for my potions and I'll never come back!"
ok now you're just trying to save face
"You've had your say, Potion Seller but I'll have mine. You're a rascal, you're a rascal with no respect for knights. No respect for anything...except your potions!"
